Writing, babies, ideas, plans -- let's see what hatches.Wed, 29 Jan 2014 00:05:38 +0000hourly1http://wordpress.com/Comment on “The View from Here” at Literary Mama! by Karenhttps://fromthehatchery.wordpress.com/2014/01/28/the-view-from-here-at-literary-mama/#comment-499
Wed, 29 Jan 2014 00:05:38 +0000http://fromthehatchery.com/?p=2341#comment-499Your essay gets it just right. Writing, being a parent, and finding time to just be a person doesn’t always fit into a single day. So yes, the long view. Some of it gets done now, some later, some right now, some when you don’t even realize it.

Sat, 09 Nov 2013 23:10:14 +0000http://fromthehatchery.com/?p=2338#comment-498Thanks, Richard! I’ve felt bad about neglecting this blog but good about the reason — so much of what I would have written here has been published (or is being considered) elsewhere. (Most publications won’t look at anything that’s been posted on a blog; even a small blog, such as this one, counts as publication and pretty much disqualifies a piece from being published anywhere else.) But your kind comment makes me want to continue to write here — and more than just the occasional update. So glad you like Barrett’s work. Enjoy Ship Fever!

I do understand, your twins and others that make up your prime constituency must be placing ever increasing demands on your time. Be that as it may, you should know you’re missed throughout your fandom.

I’d like to offer a word of thanks for your post on ‘Cold Weather Reads…. in the month of August,’ particularly Andrea Barrett’s, ‘Voyage of The Narwahl.’ I was not familiar, sadly, with her work and ‘National Book Award.’ Thanks to you, I am just finishing up her new collection, ‘Archangel.’ It’s just brilliant in my opinion. Next I am on to read the award winning, ‘Ship Fever.’ Thank you so much for steering me to her work.

I am becoming a real advocate of the short story, particularly collections, that lend themselves to being interspersed while I am plodding through the course of a novel. I’ll add that Alice Munro, whose work I do know, has not but improved the dignity of the short story, were it ever in question.

Hope this finds you and yours well.

Richard Kennedy

WE were very tired, we were very merry­
We had gone back and forth all night on the ferry.
It was bare and bright, and smelled like a stable­
But we looked into a fire, we leaned across a table,
We lay on a hill-top underneath the moon;
And the whistles kept blowing, and the dawn came soon.

We were very tired, we were very merry­
We had gone back and forth all night on the ferry;
And you ate an apple, and I ate a pear,
From a dozen of each we had bought somewhere;
And the sky went wan, and the wind came cold,
And the sun rose dripping, a bucketful of gold.

We were very tired, we were very merry,
We had gone back and forth all night on the ferry.
We hailed, “Good morrow, mother!” to a shawl-covered head,
And bought a morning paper, which neither of us read;
And she wept, “God bless you!” for the apples and pears,
And we gave her all our money but our subway fares.

Thu, 04 Jul 2013 19:35:44 +0000http://fromthehatchery.com/?p=2292#comment-491Loved the things you find in the wake of the twins. We have found a phone that would not work (all buttons had been pushed) a set of coasters in various places and the inevitable fingerprints everywhere. Love it. Also love your cartoons, I can see them in the New Yorker.
